The Confederacy of The United Republics of Texas is a massive, efficient nation, remarkable for its public floggings, pith helmet sales, and absence of drug laws. The hard-nosed, hard-working, democratic, devout population of 3.134 billion Texans live in a state of perpetual fear, as a complete breakdown of social order has led to the rise of order through biker gangs.

The minute, liberal, pro-business, outspoken government, or what there is of one, is dominated by the Department of Defense, with Industry also on the agenda, while Welfare and Social Policy receive no funds. It meets to discuss matters of state in the capital city of Plano. Citizens pay a flat income tax of 2.0%.

The frighteningly efficient United Republics of Texasian economy, worth 429 trillion Freedoms a year, is driven almost entirely by the private sector, which is broadly diversified and led by the Arms Manufacturing industry, with major contributions from Gambling, Retail, and Information Technology. Average income is an impressive 137,137 Freedoms, but there is a large disparity between incomes, with the richest 10% of citizens earning 568,665 per year while the poor average 21,681, a ratio of 26.2 to 1.

Anniversaries of major historical events pass unnoticed, a small country is wondering where their capital building's gold dome went, East Lebatuck tests its moon rovers in the barren wasteland of rural The United Republics of Texas, and personal injury lawyers are demanding compensation from the government after recent reductions in manufacturer liability. Crime, especially youth-related, is pervasive, with the police force struggling against a lack of funding and a high mortality rate. The United Republics of Texas's national animal is the Hammer of Justice, which teeters on the brink of extinction due to widespread deforestation.
